Location and comfort”
We extended another week stay and still enjoyed the hospitality of the staffs in this hotel. Being on holidays what is more important than to find a place that gives you the feel of comfort like home. For this I like to thank Afif and Ayu at the front desk for their welcoming smiles and caring for our comfort during our stay; to compliment the supervisor and staffs of housekeeping for keeping our room clean and tidy; and not forgetting Bachan, the concierge who is so attentive and helpful in his service and providing good information on foods and travel in Penang. For all of them I say thanks. There is no problem with public transport/parking, eateries. and sightseeing of nearby tourist attractions. Breadfast is optional and has a good mix of food varieties. Our only complaint at breadfast was the rude service by a trainee who really needed closer supervison of her attitude. Without a doubt we will be back in our next visit and highly recommend this hotel at the jetty location.

Decent for its price”
The exterior aesthetic is superb, really fits in the colonial aesthetic. The hotel itself is in a secluded area, which I’m personally a fan of, but the surrounding is pretty strategic. On foot, you could take an easy stroll towards the park/dataran, and the sea is just by the side of it. A lot of food choices and convenient store nearby, the concierge and information counter were very helpful as well. The room was decent for its price, everything was really clean, the bathroom is nicely divided, which I very much appreciate. The decor and interior is nice, makes staying there a joy. Overall quite satisfied! Never gotten a chance to use the facility, will assume it’s decent from the overall experience as well.

Excellent hotel in very good location”
This hotel was perfect for our 5 days stay in Georgestown - perfect location in historical center, just under the corner from Little India and China town and few minutes walk from street art, floating jetty villages, ferry and bus station, from where are going free shuttle busses to Komtar - highest building, where is skywalk with great view to Penang island. Breakfast in hotel was very tasty and wide choice. Pool and Gym were also very good. Staff was very helpful, rooms (we had deluxe room and superior room) were clean and spacious and deluxe room had nice balkony. If we will come back to Penang, we will definately choose same hotel.

Magnificent!”
Everything is perfect! Love the ambiance around the hotel. Spacious and clean room. I even got complimentary gift from the hotel since it was my anniversary week during the stay. Walking distance to the esplanade. Located at the centre of georgetown. Easy to go sight seeing around historical/UNESCO building. But we missed English Premier League during our two nights stay. They told us that we can watch the game from our room but we can’t. Our room TV did not have the channel to watch the match live. But overall, our stay was very nice and memorable. Thank you Royale Chulan Penang! ❤️

Loved our stay”
This was our first time in Penang and we were pleased to find ourselves so well located for exploring George Town on foot. For trips further afield we were able to use local buses as the hotel is close to both the Jetty Bus Station and the free Hop-On Hop-Off Bus stops. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. We also made good use of the lovely pool and sunbeds. The daily breakfast buffet was generous and offered many choices. Staff were friendly and attentive and made our stay very enjoyable.

Awesome staff, location, amazing history”
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Incredible staff, perfect location, amazing history. Can highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Georgetown, Penang. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Great food, the rooms are modern, clean, and well maintained. Best of all, directly outside is the number 1 stop for the CAT buses, that are free for tourists to get around Georgetown, although the historic area is not that large, and can just be walked.

Awesome place ”
I had read many reviews and most were positive but a few were negative so I was prepared for a hotel that was past its prime. Not at all. This place is so nice. I will definitely stay here every time I’m in Penang. The room was lux and the clean. The staff are incredible! The breakfast is a bit standard Asian fare so don’t get too excited about that, but there is a large selection so plenty to choose from. Do yourself a favor and don’t hesitate. Book yourself in here!

A bit of luxury for a budget price”
A bit of luxury for the last night of our trip, a little more than what we would usually pay in Malaysia but still a bargain at 65 Australian dollars a room. Lovely hotel, clean, nice pool, gym, buffet breakfast, huge room and really friendly staff.There is a hawkers centre only a minutes walk away full of delicious local food but also plenty of more upscale restaurants close by. Walking distance to many attractions. Comfortable beds, quiet and serene ambience.Loved it.

Extremely Comfortable ”
This hotel has a convenient location. Not far to walk from the ferry and close to streets for souvenirs, eating and street art. All the staff are extremely courteous and helpful. The facilities are very good and the room was very very comfortable. The only let down for me was the breakfast which is not geared up for Europeans. But good coffee and toast. The pool was a great bonus, I can fully recommend this lovely hotel.

New Fav Hotel in Penang”
I've passed by this hotel a hundred times but never thought of staying here. To be honest from the outside, the hotel is not the most aesthetically pleasing. And I always thought it was quite overpriced. Boy was I wrong. You get what you pay for. The rooms are clean and comfortable, location is great, the breakfast is amazing, there's a cute little pool and THE SPA IS FANTASTIC. My staple for future Penang trips,

exceptional hotel”
this hotel is like royalty and a lot bigger than it appears on the photos. The breakfast is an amazing spread of breads, cakes, eggs, salads, roti bread, curry and the list goes on!!!! Bachan i think is the name of the doorman who goes over and beyond to help you. We had an executive room which was spacious and thei infinity pool is great although the spa is not heated. The hotel is close to many attractions and also close to the free cat bus that does a loop around the city area. The 101 bus is close and takes you to the shopping centres. I highly recommend this hotel and it is certainly one of the better ones in the area.

Best value for money !”
The hotel facilities (especially room) and services are 4-5 stars, compared to the price that u paid. This is my 2nd time in Royale Chulan Penang and the service is still tip top compared to my 1st experience. Will be coming back over christmas. And definitely recommend this for all type of family holiday (with young & older children). To add, I also recommend this hotel if you want to bring your elderly parent. In my case, both my trips, I brought my parent and in laws. The hotel staff noticed this and immediately help me to reserve a parking very much straight away in front of the hotel lobby rather than needing to lark at the multi level parking spots. For the hotel staff, I appreciate this very much and thank you for the receptions and services.

Really recommend”
I loved the hotel. Great location, nice, clean room with amenities, helpful staff, outdoor swimming pool and sun deck chairs for relaxing. Wifi is quite okay as well. Near to ferry station and free busline stops. Good restaurants, coffee shops and interesting sights (street art, Little India, Fort Cornwallis, Armenien Street, Chinatown, Red Garden Footcourt etc.) are in walking distance. So absolutely recommend.

Excellent!”
This is our first time checking in to Royale Chulan Penang, and during 6 Syawal. What I can say is, everything was excellent! From the bellboy, welcome drinks, reception (very fast check in process! About 2-3 minutes only!). We booked the standard room only. So we didn't expect much. But what we get was a huge, comfy, clean & nice room! Plus point, they gave us the room with pool view (room 448), which I did not request. Excellent right?😍 I love how they separate the space in the room, put a partition, and there was a 2nd make up table, which is near to the bathroom and closet. Very easier for me to put a make up on & skin care thingy (the table is all mine!😂). Very suitable with the name, Royale. So the interior & elements looks like a royal palace. The swimming pool not so big, but not so small. Just nice. The breakfast was good enough, variety and delicious. Overall, me and my husband have a good experience staying at Royale Chulan Penang. Will we repeat? Definitely big YES! =)

Value for your money definitely ”
The staff was very friendly and the room was clean, the breakfast was excellent and tasty. There is little bit of downside which the water flow out from the bathroom to the walk room, but still ok. The location was strategic and near the weld quay and Penang local attraction (Chew jetty, Armenian street and weld quay) is within walking distance. Will comeback and stay again in near future.

Great”
Pros: good location, free parking, great staff, in house food and breakfast are good. Cons: able to hear cleaners clean stuff in the morning, sound proof might not be Fantastic but acceptable. In additional to 10rm tourism tax, they have a 3rm heritage tax. Using Grab as transport to travel is good.
